Restore Clarity and Natural Radiance
An IPL photofacial is a noninvasive treatment that uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to improve skin tone, clarity, and texture. At DeRosa Center, your provider uses the advanced Lumenis M22 laser to target pigment, redness, and acne-causing bacteria beneath the skin’s surface. The light energy converts to heat, breaking down discoloration and calming redness while stimulating collagen production. Over time, your skin appears brighter, smoother, and more even, revealing a naturally radiant glow that helps you look and feel your best.
Do I Need an IPL Photofacial?
If you’re noticing uneven skin tone, visible redness, or dullness, you may be an ideal candidate for an IPL photofacial at DeRosa Center. This gentle, light-based therapy can refresh your complexion and restore a natural, radiant glow.
You may consider IPL photofacial if:
- You want to minimize sun damage, freckles, or age spots
- You struggle with redness, rosacea, or broken capillaries
- You wish to improve acne or post-acne discoloration
- You’re bothered by uneven tone or dull skin texture
- You’d like to smooth and brighten your face, neck, chest, or hands
How Is IPL Photofacial Performed?
During your IPL photofacial, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a cool gel to enhance light transmission. The Lumenis M22 handpiece is gently passed over the treatment area to deliver precise pulses of light that target unwanted pigmentation, redness, or acne beneath the surface. You may feel a mild warmth or light snapping sensation. The treatment takes 20 to 45 minutes, depending on the area, and requires minimal downtime.

IPL Photofacial FAQs:
What Areas Can Be Treated With IPL Photofacial?
IPL photofacial can rejuvenate several areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, forearms, hands, and even spot treatments for specific areas of concern. It can also safely be used on men’s faces, excluding the beard area, to even out tone and minimize redness.
Does IPL Photofacial Hurt?
Most patients find the treatment tolerable. You may feel a brief snapping or warming sensation as each pulse of light is delivered, similar to the snap of a rubber band. The Lumenis M22 system includes advanced cooling to enhance comfort throughout the session.
What Should I Expect After the Treatment?
After your IPL photofacial, your skin may appear slightly pink or warm, similar to a mild sunburn. Pigmented spots may darken temporarily before naturally flaking off within a few days. Redness and acne lesions typically calm within a week, revealing clearer, smoother skin.
How Many IPL Photofacial Treatments Will I Need?
Most people achieve their best results with a series of 3 to 5 IPL photofacial sessions, spaced about four weeks apart. Your provider at the DeRosa Center will tailor a treatment plan to meet your specific goals and address your unique skin concerns. Many patients schedule maintenance sessions once or twice a year to preserve their radiant results.
